Question

i made the shape for the sprite, why is there still yellow?

Hover over the triangle, does it say anything?
CollisionShape2D usually make sense only if they’re a child of e.g. StaticBody2D, CharacterBody2D or RigidBody2D. Your shape is a child of a generic Node2D.

this is one of the first things you do when making “My first 2d game” tutorial here, i’ve done it a couple times, this is the first time the yellow stayed

It will stay for a tiny bit then they show you how to fix it!

The tutorial says to create an Area2D node as a root of the scene, while you created the generic Node2D - hence this warning, as I mentioned in my previous reply.

To begin, we need to choose a root node for the player object. As a general rule, a scene’s root node should reflect the object’s desired functionality - what the object is. Click the “Other Node” button and add an Area2D node to the scene.
